Trace Gale-Detrich is a senior researcher in the Centro de Investigación en Ecosistemas de la Patagonia (CIEP), located in the Aysén Region of Chilean Patagonia. She is also an Associate Researcher with the Cape Horn International Center (CHIC), located in the Magallanes and Chilean Antártic Region. Her research interests focus on human/human and human/non-human interactions within the ecosystems of Patagonia, with most of her work addressing the intersection of conservation and development. Her areas of focus include human values, perceptions, affect, and experiences, to improve understanding about how these human dynamics converge with regards to environmental stewardship, transdisciplinary governance, human development/wellbeing, and the integration of protected areas with their bordering lands and communities; especially in contexts of territorial transition, involving social and climate change.

Abstract
Against a backdrop of rapid environmental degradation and increasing pressures on natural resources, a broad list of innovations has emerged to support the vision of the post-2020 Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and strengthen regional and country-level biodiversity strategies along the interface of protected areas and non-protected lands. The success of these strategies depends in large part on science-informed consideration and approaches to the underlying and indirect drivers of change for natural systems and ecosystem services. This paper aims to inform future strategies and action plans for conservation efforts and sustainable practices globally and regionally, with a specific focus on Latin America’s environmental challenges. Bibliometric analysis, covering two decades from 2003 to 2023, focused on global and Latin American research trends related to the indirect drivers of change for natural systems and ecosystem services at the interface of protected and non-protected lands. Through structured analysis, key opportunities for increased collaboration, impact, and research focus are identified, highlighting the need to expand research collaboration strategies and reach, enhance research dissemination through open and equitable innovations, and strengthen capacity to the complex and interrelated challenges underlying accelerated change in natural systems, which affects biodiversity and ecosystem services.
